The Mail tab within VPOP3 webmail enables you to manage your sent and received messages.

As you can see from the screenshot, the page is divided into three main sections:

The Mail toolbar contains the following buttons:

• New Message → Launch a tab to compose a new message
• Reply → Launch a tab to compose a reply to the selected message
• Reply All → Launch a tab to compose a reply to all recipients and the sender of the selected message
• Forward → Launch a tab to forward the selected message
• Resend → Launch a tab to resend a verbatim copy of the selected message
• Edit Draft → Launch a tab to resume editing the selected draft message. Displayed in place of Resend
• Delete → Delete the selected message(s) - Send to Deleted Items / permanently delete from Deleted Items folder
• Mark As Spam → Quarantine the selected message
• Download → Version 5+ - Downloads a .eml format copy of the email to the user's web browser
• Open → Version 5+ - Launch a tab to view the message in 'fullscreen'
• Refresh → Refresh the Mail tab - check for any changes, i.e. any new messages, any messages/folders that have been affected by another user or email client.
• Search → Perform a keyword search to filter the displayed messages

The left panel forms a tree structure to display the various mail folders. Subfolders are stored within branches. Any branch of the tree can be opened/closed by pressing the +/- icons next to the parent folder.

The top-right panel is a grid containing fields: From, Subject, Date, read, flagged, with attachments, Size. By default, 50 messages are displayed at a time, with page navigation options made available once enough messages are present.

The bottom-right panel displays the currently selected message. It contains a header bar, which provides the most commonly required header information: Subject, From, To, Date. An Options button enables you to:

• Show Headers → Launch a dialogue box with the full message headers
• Print Message → Output a printer-friendly display of the message and launch the printer options dialogue

Underneath, the message appears, with vertical and horizontal scrollbars, if required. Further boxes may appear if:

• The message has attachments
• Images have been blocked
